Quantum Corporation announced its
ActiveScale object storage software has extended its Veeam Ready qualifications.
Veeam
Software is the #1 leader by market share in Data Resilience. Quantum's
new Veeam Ready qualifications now include the new ActiveScale 7.0
software that includes support for all-flash solutions for fast
ransomware recovery and ActiveScale Cold Storage support of Veeam
Archive Tier for low-cost, air-gapped retention of Veeam backups. These
Veeam Ready solutions provide organizations unprecedented cyber
resilience with multi-layered protection, high performance, simplicity,
and efficiency to prepare, protect, and recover business-critical
applications rapidly and with confidence.
ActiveScale object storage has long been recognized as a reliable Veeam
Ready backup target, evolving alongside Veeam's expanding object storage
capabilities. Designed for fast recovery across multiple storage
classes using flash, hard disk, and tape, ActiveScale flexibly meets
demanding recovery service level agreements (SLAs) and economically
addresses long-term retention of backups. Recent advancements across the
ActiveScale product portfolio strengthen its value within Veeam
environments:
-
The ActiveScale 7.0 release, which is now Veeam Ready, includes support
for all-flash configurations offering impressive restore performance to
provide rapid recovery of mission-critical data for fast response to
ransomware attacks, rogue actors, and other data risks. Based on an
all-flash, scale-out architecture, ActiveScale 7.0 seamlessly expands
backup target resources (compute, networking and storage) for simple,
scalable performance within a Veeam environment.
-
The ActiveScale 7.0 Cold Storage feature is also now qualified as a
Veeam Archive Tier, providing cost-effective access to all retained
backups. Previous to Veeam Version 12.1, Archive Tiers were limited to
public cloud storage services that are expensive to egress data, incur
significant Internet and WAN costs, and are extremely slow. Restoring
backups from ActiveScale Cold Storage is dramatically faster and up to
98% lower cost than public cloud offerings, extending the utility and
value of the Veeam Archive Tier. Plus, with Veeam's new Direct to
Archive feature, backups can be sent directly from Performance Tier
storage to the Archive Tier, further reducing overall costs and
simplifying operations.
"With ActiveScale, organizations can feel at ease that all their data is
immutable against cyber threats and recoverable in minutes and hours
instead of days or weeks," says Bruno Hald, vice president, secondary
storage, Quantum. "ActiveScale 7.0 provides fast restore performance now
and in the future with easy scale-out expansion over time. ActiveScale
7.0 all-flash solutions are an ideal platform for deploying our
ActiveScale Cold Storage feature to economically store Veeam Archive
Tier backups for secure, immutable long-term retention."
"The ongoing threat of ransomware attacks underscores the importance of
cyber resilience as part of an overall Data Resilience strategy," said
Andreas Neurfert, vice president of product management, alliances at
Veeam. "The combination of Veeam Data PlatformTM and Quantum ActiveScale
delivers a unique, cyber-resilient solution for fast recovery, economic
long-term retention, and peace-of-mind data immutability."
ActiveScale 7.0 is Veeam Ready qualified and available from Quantum solution integrators and partners.
